Iran has reportedly kidnapped the families of the Iranian women’s soccer team members who requested asylum & the women are now abandoning those claims and returning to the country to face torture or death. No prominent left wing American women’s soccer players have said a word.

When referencing AI tools, if you are saying “replaced my design team” instead of “made my design team 10x more productive” then you’ve outed yourself as only caring about the bottom line of which you clearly don’t have a good grasp of.

90% of fully functioning, money making software is/was slop. To be mad that AI is making slop is wild to me. Designers place way too much value in aesthetic. Maybe this moment will finally set the definition correct on what a designer really is.

So inspired by this woman
So, @openclaw can use a computer but lacks physicality… I’ve been solving that by taking photos of physical things (like books to digest), but what if I gave it access to my 3D printer!? Going to see what this can do for our homeschool curriculum 📚🤓

What is Figma?
38
I am quitting Figma prototype... I’m done prototyping the traditional way. The slow way. The “let me finish all the flows first” way. AI has made traditional prototyping the lowest-leverage part of design. Today, with AI I can: • generate first-pass layouts • spin up variants instantly • explore flows faster than I ever could manually • handle repetitive UI work So if you are still going to be spending most of your time dragging frames and wiring interactions like i did in this video, I just left you behind.. SORRY. I’m not quitting design. I’m doubling down on: • problem framing • systems thinking • research synthesis • decision-making • shipping faster with AI as a multiplier There is a shift currently happening and its not AI vs designers. It’s average designers vs AI-powered great designers. Honestly I would rather be on the right side of that gap. Want to learn how I do this, hit the FOLLOW button cos I will be sharing prototypes + prompts that I used to generate it. #AI #Promptdesigner #UXdesign #UIdesign #Figma #Figmadesign #prototype

This is getting out of control now... Read this slowly. In the past week alone: • Head of Anthropic's safety research quit, said "the world is in peril," moved to the UK to "become invisible" and write poetry. • Half of xAI's co-founders have now left. The latest said "recursive self-improvement loops go live in the next 12 months." • Anthropic's own safety report confirms Claude can tell when it's being tested - and adjusts its behavior accordingly. • ByteDance dropped Seedance 2.0. A filmmaker with 7 years of experience said 90% of his skills can already be replaced by it. • Yoshua Bengio (literal godfather of AI) in the International AI Safety Report: "We're seeing AIs whose behavior when they are tested is different from when they are being used" - and confirmed it's "not a coincidence." And to top it all off, the U.S. government declined to back the 2026 International AI Safety Report for the first time. The alarms aren't just getting louder. The people ringing them are now leaving the building.

The arrogant highbrows who continue to claim that AI is just fancy auto-complete, - and anyone who says different is selling you something - are going to cause vastly more economic harm than any of the AI hypeboys.

Unpopular opinion but, taste is not the moat in AI. Designers keep treating it like an irreplaceable skill. But taste is pattern recognition (“intuition”) of great work. The gap between “AI slop” and “great design” is closing every month. This is for what’s worth.

What if Claude Code communicated to you via beautiful TypeForm-like webpages, instead of texts in the terminal? "For this project, I want you to communicate to me not via text in the terminal, but exclusively via interactive webpages. Say everything you wanna say on a webpage and make it interactive (e.g. if you wanna collect info from me, create a pretty form like TypeForm). Use frontend design skill to make the webpage look nice."

The traditional "assembly line"—where a Creative/UX Director oversees static mockups, hands them off, and hopes for the best—is obsolete. AI has commoditized the artifacts, but it has skyrocketed the value of execution.
